My 3 year computer is feeling a bit old and slow. I'm thinking the best upgrade for me is to add a SSD and move my OS from non SSD to SSD. The price at the computer store for Samsung 256G 830 and 840 is exactly the same, around $195 AUD (computer parts are more expensive here).
Anyway I read...
Do all your web browsing and try and use Linux instead of windows for everyday tasks.
For every command there is a man page. So man grep would give u the manual page for the grep command.
I bought a brand new 5770 about 3 months ago. Occassionally the card artifacts in games like Wow. Triangle, coloured lines appear around the screen and I have to alt tab and wait a while then switch back to game for the artifacts to go away.
This is on stock clocks as well (no...
I got a HIS 5770. Out of the 2 brands which one was better for u? My HIS 5770 occassionally artifacts, when i was installing the card i noticed the heatsink had a small gap to the chip itself.
I took it back to the shop, but in Australia or this particular shop they don't provide support...
Whats wrong with the Riva TNT apart from it being bog slow compared to todays card.
Back then it competed against 3dfx voodoo 2 and voodoo2 could only do 3d and had to buy a seperate 2d card.
I'm happy I bought a Radeon 5770 now that nvidia's new gen is sooo hot and noisy.
Is it easy to sell your video card for $115? Do you tell the buyer that your card overheats when it is at full load? I have a 7900gt i want to sell because i replaced it with a 5770 but the 7900gt crashes randomly, and the card has dropped so much in value i think aftermarket cooler is more...
I just downloaded the 10.2 catalyst drivers.
Uninstalled previous 10.1 drivers from control panel and double click the 10.2 exe.
My wow has become unstable with the 10.2 drivers compared to 10.1. It has stalled like 4 times today, and then the ATI feedback form pop's up and wants to send the...
Recently bought a core i7 860 but kept my old video card to save money. Its a 7900gt but currently its giving me stability issues, it artifacts at default clock speed. I had a 6600gt lying around and changed it over and my computer became more stable and no artifacts so I think I need to...
The Sonata III is quieter than my old Thermaltake case but I can still hear the fan. Its probably the PS fan and not the case fan. It doesn't have much cooling options, it comes with one 120mm fan and it does have an optional fan mount for hdd but u have to buy it and it will block a large...
I did have a SP1 XP install CD, I never had problems with it on an AMD socket 939 system with PCI-E though that was 1.0. Anyway slipstream saves me downloading SP3 after OS install.
I would upgrade OS to Win7 when it comes out and is on sale. I dont like Vista, I've heard some poor feedback...
Following advice, I went ahead and bought a Core i7 860 instead of a Core Duo Quad.
Core i7 860
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3P MB
4 Gig Kingston DDR1333
Samsung 1TB SATAII Spinpoint
Antec Sonata III with EarthWatts 500W (wanted a branded PS without paying too much and PS comes with case)
Went...
Cool, I never considered the i5 750 originally as I thought it was a low end part with no hyperthreading but then i see it beats Q8400 in many benchmarks. I might buy the i5 750 or 860 and hang on to my 7900GT to save money and buy a 5870 card next year when it comes out.
